Fashionista and Boots Shop Petco

Bettejo and Ari

I 'cook' breakfast for Ari, he's 99 and his teeth don't chomp as well as they used to. Warm water, crumpled oat alfalfa, salt, carrots, bran and molasses snuggle tastefully  in a pail. Old age has a price, but I think it's worth  it.  He does too.  Nose deep in the bucket--chomping contentedly-- his ears peek out. He started out 45 to 55 million years ago--Eohippus--a fifty pound critter,  18 inches high at the shoulders, with 4 toes on the front feet and three toes on the hind feet. He's come a long way, baby.

He has fresh water, in the trough, garnished swimmingly with tiny mosquito eaters.

Duke ruffles blue and gold, munches macaw food, peanuts, raisins,  bananas and cookie crumbs. Everybody here loves cookies. We're all cookie monsters. He spread his wings as I give him a wispy shower at the same time I hose down potted plants in the courtyard.

Carefully hanging the pitchfork on a hook, I wipe my hands off on my pants. Sweaty, and smelling like a well-groomed horse in a well- maintained barn, I brush fresh straw off the seat of my sweats. The combination of fresh straw, horsey pooh, and horse is irresistible. I flicker the broom, whisker the floor, then set this tool in its stand and head for the people end of the residence.

Bettejo & Boots 

My gown up puppy, Boots, and the growing up  kittens, Reba and Rosa, breakfast on dog and cat food  with the grown up--me--who sips freshly brewed organic coffee, Kicking Horse, roasted in Canada and purchased  at Living Foods in Poipu. I scatter some organic chicken food to my feral hen, in her tiny abode anchored down in case of hurricane winds. She often lays a free range egg a week. She cackles sweetly. Today, I'm honored with an egg. Her eggs are petite, pink in color, with yolks so high and golden they poke the eye.

Tossing my sweats in the hamper, I fall daintily into my sunken tub. When I arise, I'm Venus on the half shell. I towel quickly as the image in the mirror denies the claim. At my dressing table, I install my face and coif my hair. Remember the Houston lady who has a three-story wardrobe with a champagne bar? Well. I have a one story wardrobe with a champagne bucket and two champagne flutes from the Thrift Store.

Selecting my wardrobe for the day, this fashionista shoves both feet into a  pair of sparkly red shoes from Payless and, with Bootsy--groomed- to- perfection-- depart for Petco in Lihue. The greatest animal department store in the whole wide world. Inside is  breathtaking. Both Boots and I gasp. Wide aisles filled with stuff. Boots selects a gourmet cracker and a bottle of  shampoo.

At the counter, a couple deals with a kid and a dog in  a cart fighting over a doggie toy.

Three suggestions. Bring money. Leave animals at home. They're welcome, but they're kids in a candy store. And, please, managers, plant more greenery.

"Call the Bushes a dynasty, but the Clintons..?" 'Douglas Dunn' (Political Opinion)

Guest blogger Douglas Dunn  operates a small publishing
 consulting business in San Diego county and is a
  certified American sign language  interpreter.
  Doug has been a Democratic Party media spokesperson
 and  had  the good fortune to work with Hillary Clinton
 and Barack Obama. Doug also drives a Nissan Leaf !

Call the Bushes a dynasty -- but the Clintons?

We keep hearing about the “dynasty” candidates, identified as Republican Jeb Bush and Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, as if they are somehow equivalent. Sure, it makes for a good story line, but it promotes a false equivalence. 

The word “dynasty” conjures images of hereditary generational control of nations or empires, such as the monarchies of Europe or the emperors of China, with power handed down across generations.

Shared from Facebook....
Could  2016 bring back
 Bush-Clinton? Stay tuned!

This is certainly exemplified by the Bushes, a family of old East Coast hereditary wealth now in its third generation of power (Sen. Prescott Bush, then President George H.W. Bush, then President George W. Bush) and preparing a fourth generation (Texas land commissioner George P. Bush).

But it hardly represents the Clintons, two members of the same generation and immediate household, arising from modest origins and rising to the highest pinnacles of achievement entirely on their own individual merit and work.

"Always there for me..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen' Kimo's world #77

Obama Da Dog is a life long resident of Hawai'i. Obama
is the special needs daughter of columnist and blogger
James "Kimo" Rosen. They both reside in Kapa'a town.

Kimo's World #77
Always there for me

I  need my dog, she is my Valium, my Zoloft, my Prozac, my Paxil, my Cymbalta. She makes me feel relaxed and able to handle whatever situation presents itself.

This past year when the media falsely accused  me of an alleged arson fire, who was there for me, 'Obama' my dog.

When the doctors thought I had cancer of the spinal cord, who was there for me?  You guessed it, 'Obama' my dog.

I trust my dog more than I trust any human being, life without dogs would be incomplete...

Man's best friend is an understatement.

God bless the dogs of the world and remember God spelled backwards is Dog!

"The Swallow an amazing bird..." 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Sunday)

( A suburb of Buffalo, N.Y.)

 field of medicine for over 30 years

The Swallow an amazing bird

We just had a Robin family leave the evergreen last week near our front porch ,babies born and flew out of the nest. 

Now we have another bird family that built a mud and straw nest against our porch brick wall that are amazing. They have been there for a few weeks now and have begun to be a real bother.At first they were cute to watch building a nest right up against a wall but now they have kept us from sitting on our own porch all summer.

Mom keeping watch at swallows nest...

  As soon as we make a sound, they fly from the nest and continue to dive bomb us until we go away.  I am not exaggerating.I can hear the wind from their tiny wings go by my head they are so close. 

 HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE SWALLOW EGGS TO HATCH? BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY ANNOYING NOW.  
All day long 3 of them swirl around our yard and barely miss our heads. Nature is amazing, from afar...

"Restrooms along the interstate..." 'Chester "Unc" Lau' (Source)

Dakinetalks favorite Uncle (Chester Lau)

"Unc"  is really passionate about creating a national Caregivers day.

Any help , support or ideas would be greatly appreciated...

'Unc' currently resides on the Hawai'ian Island of Oahu. 
He is a retired cinematographer,
 and  enjoys giving the politicians a bad time...

I am PRO-CHOICE ON EVERYTHING WITH RESPONSIBILITY...

Restrooms along the interstate

In Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the restroom, I stop at a rest area and head to the restroom.

  
 I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom and I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"
And the other person says: "So what are you up to?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!" 
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. "Can I come over?"
Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them. "No..I'm a little busy right now!!!"  
Then I hear the person say nervously... "Listen, I'll have to call you back.  There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions."

Slavery in America

Bettejo and Aristotle

In a recent Garden Island News Forum letter, a frequent  writer wrote,  "...the Confederate flag flying high over the state Capitol of Charleston, South Carolina..." The writer commented, "Makes you proud to call yourself an American, doesn't it?"

No. But it makes me proud to be a citizen of the state of Hawaii.

According to a Wikipedia demographic on South Carolina, 93% of its citizens are Christian. Perhaps they were just quoting the Bible? For an example...

"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment." Exodus 21:7-11

"When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property." (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

These are Biblical values? Seems a man can buy as many sex slaves as he wants.

In the most recent Voice of Reason journal of Americans for Religious Liberty, Edd Doerr writes Is the Wall Crumbling? Scary! An American theocracy? Oh, my goodness! My beloved editor, the good Jewaiian, and my favorite Hebrew black dog, Obama, and I could end up in the same pot. Or shower. Bring your own soap.

All kidding aside, I think all of us, left sane and even halfway intelligent, need to take these religious lunatics seriously.

We had, for a while, a thriving bigoted, morally foul-mouthed,vicious, cut throat, obsessive fundamentalist gang of thugs who quoted the Bible, Chapter and Verse. Not the goodie-goodie-two-shoes passages that everyone loves to quote, but the extreme nasties. Including rape, sodomy and bashing baby's head against the rocks.

If there are any left on Kauai--goodness forbid--may they hurry back to wherever they came from. Soonest.

Stay out of Hawaii, guys--they're always men, have you noticed? Too many non Christians--of any, all, or no religious persuasion--carry big sticks. Poisoned pens? You betcha.

A personal aside, I was labeled a 'spawn of satan', a 666, and sent to hell so often I was a prized and welcome resident. All the good guys are in hell, you know. They've got it air-conditioned, and everybody is sitting around playing strip poker with Marilyn Monroe.
